Establish consistent R&D governance
See all projects in one place, apply standardized criteria, and establish clear decision rights with full audit trails.
Spot portfolio gaps and overlap
Projects scattered in spreadsheets hide duplicates, strategic gaps, and low-priority work. Connect all R&D work to identify waste, missing coverage, and untapped synergies automatically.
Standardize phase-gate validations
Unclear criteria let politics drive decisions. Define phase-gate criteria once - TRL, concept brief, implementation needs - then apply consistently for fast, defensible decisions.
Balance portfolio risk and return
Too many safe bets or too many moonshots both kill growth. Visualize your portfolio mix across TRL, innovation horizons, and strategic themes - and invest in what fuels your strategy.
Define decision and approval rights
Unclear authority bottlenecks everything; too many approvers create paralysis. Configure review boards, set approval thresholds, delegate authority, and move projects through gates in days instead of quarters.
Generate executive portfolio reports
Quarterly executive reports shouldn't take a week to build. Upload your PowerPoint template once, auto-generate slides with current portfolio health, resource use, and strategic alignment.
Map timelines to market windows
Building capabilities too late kills innovation advantages; too early wastes resources. Relate technology readiness to strategic milestones to deliver when the time is right.
Identify critical path dependencies
Some technologies unlock dozens of downstream projects; others sit isolated. See what cascades delays, so you prioritize work that accelerates your entire pipeline.
Align distributed teams on shared roadmaps
R&D sites working isolated create integration nightmares. Share interactive roadmaps globally, so teams see dependencies, handoff points, and who's waiting on whom.
Track your technology landscape - from emerging to critical
Discover emerging technologies, monitor readiness shifts, and tap external innovation - in one collaboration space.
Build shared technology intelligence
Trapped technology insights never influence decisions. Provide one tech intelligence space to navigate through insights by relevance, domain, and disruption risk.
Find strategy-relevant technologies
Auto‑generate a tech landscape radar in seconds. Automatically understand TRLs, potential impact, and scout for new technologies, upgrading your portfolio.
Get technology readiness alerts
Technologies move from lab to market faster than quarterly reviews. Receive automated alerts when tracked technologies hit critical TRL milestones, gain market traction, or show adoption signals.
Link external ideas to internal needs
There are more brilliant ideas outside your walls than within. Collect input from customers, start-ups, and research partners through one shared portal. Let external voices fuel your pipeline.
Speed projects from concept to launch
Accelerate time-to-market by tracking progress, catching delays early, and resolving resource conflicts.
Oversee all portfolio tasks and assignments
Disconnected plans derail progress. See how teams, priorities, and tasks align to hit critical milestones, on shareable, uncluttered timelines.
Get alerted before projects stall or lose relevance
Quarterly reviews surface problems too late. Get automated alerts when projects miss milestones, stall in phases, or drift from strategic priorities.
Surface and resolve resource bottlenecks
Too many parallel projects slow delivery. Visualize resource allocation across the portfolio to spot overloaded teams, skill gaps, and conflicting priorities.
